J. Imaging 2018,4, 32 ThenewdatasetAcTiV2.0 includes189videosequences, 4063key frames, 10,415 text images and three video-stream resolutions, i.e., the new one is SD (480× 360). A brief comparison in termsofcontentbetweenthe initialandnewversionof theproposeddataset ispresentedinTable2. The architecture of the newdataset is completely different from the old one. In addition to the videosandtheirannotationXMLfiles,AcTiV2.0 includes twoappropriatedatasets fordetectionand recognitiontasks, (seeFigure4).

Different fonts (more than 6), sizes, backgrounds, colors, contrasts and occlusions are represented in thedataset. Figure 6 illustrates typical examples fromAcTiV-R. Thecollected text images coverabroadrangeof characteristics thatdistinguishvideo frames from scanned documents. AcTiV-R consists of 10,415 textline images, 44,583 words and 259,192characters. Tohaveaneasilyaccessible representationofArabic text, it is transformed intoasetofLatin labelswithasuffix that refers to the letter’sposition in theword,_B:Begin,_M: Middle;_E:End;and_I: Isolate.Anexample is showninFigure1.Duringtheannotationprocess, wehaveconsidered164Arabiccharacter forms: – 125 letters, i.e., taking intoaccount this“positioning”variability; – 15additionalcharacters, i.e., combinedwith thediacritic sign“Chadda”; – 10digits; and – 14punctuationmarks includingthewhite space.
